[clug] ABC iview - any joy with linux?

[Steve McInerney]

One step forward and all that...

the major culprit - so far - was the ~/.macromedia folder.
rm'd that and managed to get the main screen working.

Unf! the act of playing a video crashes firefox. whee.


For the record and those following along in some distant future:

strace suggests this is the culprit:
26119 write(2, "Xlib:  extension \"GLX\" missing on display \":0.0\".\n"...,
50) = 50
26119 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---


Boom. Now to chase the missing GLX...


Cheers!
- Steve
